The Iconic Fashion Moment Rihanna Wishes She Could Erase – The List

One piece Rihanna wore that definitely turned heads was the see-through crystalline gown she donned for the 2014 Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards, at which the singer was honored with the Fashion Icon Award. Her Adam Selman dress was covered in Swarovski crystals, with Rihanna explaining to Vogue in 2016, “I just liked it better without the lines underneath. Could you imagine the CFDA dress with a bra? I would slice my throat. I already wanted to, for wearing a thong that wasn’t bedazzled. That’s the only regret I have in my life.” Evidently, the CFDA dress stands above the rest of Rihanna’s looks.

In a 2020 interview with “Access Hollywood,” the “Only Girl in the World” hitmaker took a trip down memory lane and recalled the sheer CFDA number with a laugh. “I remember getting dressed and telling my stylist, ‘This is it. We can’t go any more naked than this,'” Rihanna quipped, even suggesting that it was the most drastic look she’d rocked when it came to showing skin on the red carpet. The fashion icon contrasted the barely-there sparkling gown with a totally different look at the 2015 Grammys: A two-tiered pink dress for the red carpet and a suit for her performance. “And I felt so good about that!” she enthused, adding, “The nipples haven’t been free since. Not publicly, at least.”
